jank: graduation

graduation

Jake's a high school graduate. Anyone who has known us for a while knows how thrilling this is for us. I'll skip the boring part...the actual graduation, and just talk about the partay on Saturday.

I seriously started planning this party about 3 months ago. I get things in my head and then just don't stop dwelling until it's as I wanted it. The problem is that I lack talent in the area of decorating and making things look nice. I bought a ton of colorful stuff and thanks so much to Tree, Gayle, Terri, my mom, Megan and the poor "oppressed" family, it looked awesome here Saturday night. We had more food and beverages than 4 parties could use. Tree made a heeeyuge banner and Gayle made this kick-ass cake. Mom helped with food and Kendall worked tirelessly to help me get the house clean. Tree made everything pretty and Dan cleaned the pool. This party was a LOT of work, but it was really so worth it. Now I have like 4000 beers left and many bottles of wine and I believe we'll be eating Allman's bbq for the next week. I feel so relieved to have Jake out of school and I'm so proud of him. I may not have talent for making things pretty, but I am gifted at surrounding myself with wonderful friends.

Now, if I could just get my friends to agree about waterboarding.

*cheers*
